The speech of Gen. Black at the hotel
keepers banquet last evening was the
speech Of the occasion. His tribute to
Abraham Lincoln and the great powers aud
dignity Of the presidential office, created
by free people, was eloquent aud mas
terlY. Some sentences of the speech are
equal to the best in the language for
terseness, vigor, and original thought. The
audience was so captivated with it that at
its conclusion 1t rose as one man and gave
him three cheers and q tiger.

The story Of Ireland is best told by the
following figures furnished by Mulhall,

Of the day. lie says that during Vic

in Ireland l,255,000 people; there have been
evicted for non-payment of rent, 1886, 700;
and there have emlgrated, 4,ls5,0OO. This is

MR.. l. n. G. COLE, Of the Register, OF
Fairfax Court House, presented us yester-
day with the evidence that he was gar
nisheed, and thus precluded from paying
anything on the debt due Taylor under
which his Office was seized, and, further,
with a summons dated on the Goth Of April,
directing him to appear in court for trial on
the Cd of May, which simmons was not
served until after 2 o'clock on the evening
of May 2, the day of trial. 1t looks very
much as If an effort had been made to take
an unfair advantage of Mr.. Cole.

plications for janitors' places from James
II. Smiler, Parker McGrundy, and George

was that all acquisitions upon the contin-
gent fund Of the public schools should
come from the superintcndcnts of the

mittee, which recommended the ab )lisa.
ment of the annual written eyamln ition,

COMMENT ON THE VETO.
springer's Admiration for Mr.. Clev
lands Boldness-A Turning Point.

| gpringer's Admiration for Mr.. Cleve-
lands Boldness-A Turning Point.
WASHINGTON CITY, Feb 14-The result
Of interviews with the leaders of the various
wings Of the house indicates that the exhaust
i've veto message of the president ends the
dependent pension bill Although the meas
ure passed bo b houses by more than two
thirds majority, the cogent reasoning
against it on the part of the president viii
prevent anything more than an attempt to
pass the measure over the veto Consider
able satisfaction is expressed by the Repub-
Ncans over the veto. They say they can
make political capital out of it. Some Dem
ocrats are fearful of the effect of the presi-
dents veto on the soldier element.
Matson, the chairman of the invalid pen
sion committee to which the bill was re-
ferred, believes that the bill will be reported
back to the house for passage over the veto.
Springer said that, in his opinion, no man
who had ever filled the office of president be-
fore Cleveland would have had the boldness
to veto such a bill which had
passed both houses by more than
two-thirds majority, and which had such
powerful sentiment at the back of it.
"My admiration for the man, said Springer,
never was so great as now. Against sem
timent before which all parties have bowed,
against the majority of his own party,
against the overwhelming ma jority Of con-
gress, and at the risk of running bis prospects
politically he has the strength and the cour-
age to act according to the convictions of
his heart and his mind. If the president is
not sust aimed by congress, it will be bad for
him. il he is sustained, then this incident
may be the turning point of a popular reac-
ton against the abuse of that whole pension
business ---

Quaker Who Claimed to Have Been
Robbed Placed Behind the Bars.
ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. 14.-The Ohio Quaker
whose alleged loss OF $4,000 Thursday was
made known was put behind the bars Fri
day night. The officers settled down to the
theory that Jacob Miller was trif1e too re-
signed, and they concluded to keep watch
over him. They took him around to the
station houss finally, where search of his
person began. He kicked violently against
such an act, but his protestations were un-
needed. On his person was found the vest
which he claimed to have lost, and in the
pocket were the certified checks kilograms
received indicated that the checks were bold
forgeries, so far as the certifcation went.
The Quaker then fell back in the chair and
simply remarked to the chief: "Thee hast
got a case against me-" He is now held
under charge of cheating and swindling,
and for few weeks to come he will have all
the business he wants to attend to.
